Spectral is better for Armadyl, because Kree'arra her max with Magic is only 210 so damage soaking doesn't do anything.

So what's the fastest way of levelling the NPCs? Tanking the hits for them through the hard route? Is hard also better for the lower levelled NPCs?

If you're bored, you should really take a walk around the F2P world. It looks stunning now.

When I killed them with my chaotic rapier I was getting less charms than I would with a chaotic maul, although the difference was pretty small. My stats were 90/90/90 in Melee, Turmoil flashing and overloaded. Soul Split + Turmoil flashing was a bit annoying with the rapier...

Do you have a wolpertinger? If not, then bring a Vecna skull. Normal magic potions run out way too fast to be worthwhile.

Ghasts look nice.

I think it's due to people using Blood Barrage and Shadow Barrage more often now since staking is a "good" way of making money again.

What do you do for fun in RuneScape?

You could get a chaotic crossbow. It's a must have at Nex and Armadyl. Edit: never mind. You said you have no reason to get it. The staff is fun for PvP. Hitting 490 with Ice Barrage on a player is always fun to see.

Mercenary gloves are actually better to use at Nex, aren't they?

Well, sure, for the 21% boost in damage. It will speed up your kills and XP significantly.

He sets up a live stream whenever he goes PKing. That's all I know about him. Good job on killing him. He has a nasty attitude.

More info on sagaies: Their speed is 3.6 on accurate, 3 on rapid. They're 1 handed. So far my max is 465 on max distance on rapid, using overload, Rigour and void. It can reach a farcasting mage (which crossbows can't).

I think they're speed 4 on rapid. Assuming the player has 99 Ranged, overload, Rigour and void Ranged, their effective Ranged level is 185 ( C ). Sagaies have 70 Ranged Strength ( D ). Max = 5 + C * (1 + D/64) Max = 5 + 185 * (1 + 70/64) Max = 190 * 2,09375 = 397,8125 or 397. I have no idea how big of a difference your distance between you and your opponent makes though.

Then just go with an unholy book.

You don't need a lot of accuracy for rock lobsters. An unholy book or tome of frost would be better there in my opinion.

Special attack is pretty useless. The damage done by the vine is affected by your armor. Against 407 slash attack the special attack only hit me twice. Rest were all 0s. Korasi or dragon claws are better, against high Defence at least.

Abyssal Vine Whip Vine Call This attack summons a vine that will hit your opponent 10 times for 125% of your accuracy, and 20% of your strength. The attacks will only hit as long as your opponent is in range.

A zaryte bow degrades, so does every chaotic. Does it really matter in which way you lose the money? at some places, with todays prices, a hand cannon will actually cost less than rapier or the bow. What's the blow up rate of a hand cannon at 99 Firemaking? 1/1000 or so? That would mean with today's prices one shot costs 348gp. Chaotic weapons and a zaryte bow are cheaper than that. Anyway, I think the zaryte bow deserves to be upgraded more than the abyssal whip does.

Zaryte bow is strongest bow in game... Ranged is lacking in general in my opinion. Woop woop I can hit just above 540 on a Slayer task in Kuradal's dungeon with overloads and Rigour. That's really low compared to what a chaotic rapier can hit (660+). There's not even a special attack on the damn thing. Ranged doesn't really have any good special attacks save for Morrigan's weapons. Dragonfire/armor piercing/blood sacrifice are all very strong. Doesn't have the straight up killing power of claws but still good. Meh... 4k for a bolt and the special effect can be nullified by drinking an antifire potion... Blood sacrifice is useful for Nex only really, it's terrible for PvP and training in general. Diamond (e) bolts are alright, but nothing amazing. They're still there though, you still have the option to actually use them. The fact that you don't use them means YOUR use of the ranged skill is lacking, not the range skill in general as it stands. ^ and look at xpx's point too. Who's saying I don't use dragon (e) bolts and such? Even with those items Ranged is underpowered compared to Melee in terms of DPS and PvP. Hell, a good mage has a good chance of killing the best rangers out there without using Miasmic. And yay a hand cannon... it's a great weapon but it can blow up.

With leech ranged you max at a staggering 402 with a zaryte bow! Or 435 with Rigour but that means you can't use Soul Split and a mage can simply leech your Ranged to 5-0% instead of 20%.

I think it's kind of lame that out of every weapon, they decide to upgrade the abyssal whip. Um... what about the zaryte bow? Staves in general? Those are weapons that actually need to be upgraded. The abyssal whip is already the best weapon for training if you don't have a chaotic rapier.

Am I doing the part with the healers right this way? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPDpyUCEM_U&feature=channel_video_title
